Warning: Moving a company file might cause problems for other users

 If you're using MYOB AccountEdge on a network, don't forget that other users might need to access the company file you plan to move. You may need to change access and sharing settings for the new location to ensure that all your coworkers can continue to work with your company file.

Also, if you move a company file, the custom reports and forms that you've created for the company file will no longer be available unless you also move the reports to the new location. We suggest that you copy the current CUSTOM and FORMS folders that exists in the location where the company file is currently stored and paste the folder into the new location.

When exiting AccountEdge in the first step of this procedure, be sure no other users are currently working with the company file you wish to move.
  1. Exit MYOB AccountEdge.

  2. Open the folder containing the file you want to move (probably the folder labeled "MYOB AccountEdge").

  3. Drag the icon of the company file you want to move to the folder you want to move it to. The company file is placed in that folder.
